End of summer movies drought in full swing

[fs5]

top 10 movies this weekend:

1. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
2. Matchstick Men
3. Cabin Fever
4. Dickie Roberts
5. Pirates (10 weeks old!)
6. Freaky Friday
7. Jeepers Creepers 2
8. Seabiscuit (8 weeks old)
9. SWAT (6 weeks old)
10. Open Range.

Besides Pirates and SWAT, none of those movies I would want to see. In fact I saw Matchstick Men and it was entertaining but I'd only give it 2.5/5

and:
Opening This Week
? Anything Else
? Cold Creek Manor
? The Fighting Temptations
? Secondhand Lions
? Underworld

ahhhhh movie deprivation!

Pirates? Nemo? Bad Boys II? Matrix 2 (okay maybe not this one). Many more...

i cant believe Pirates might crack $300 million. Disney Exec.'s are prolly snowboarding on piles of cash as we speak. 2 movies + 600 million gross from them combined = 1 DAMN GOOD SUMMER!

This summer was really disappointing... Except for LOTR and Matrix Reloaded I can't think of any good films from this summer...

if you want to count x² as a summer movie, i enjoyed that. i enjoyed quite a few movies this summer actually, but some were let downs. ::cough:: matrix: refunded ::cough::

More like a 2003 drought. There have been few movies worth watching this year in theater.

if you just follow blockbusters ....

and matchstick men was pretty good too.

You guys seem to say that about every year.

Actually lost in translation I want to see but it's not fully released correct? And Dirty Pretty Things, I don't think I would want to see that from reading the preview, maybe a rental.

Too bad LOTR will be over after this year. We need more movies like that every year. Something to look forward to.
